Location - located on a side street off the Silas Deane highway. Quiet neighborhood. Parking lot has adequate parking though it seems small. I've never had any trouble parking when I had appointments there. Aesthetics - Small grassy area just before you enter in case the pooch has a sniff of the grass and wants to go. There's available bags outside in case you didn't bring any with you and there's a trash can there as well (though you shouldn't take my word for it and still bring your own poop bags as sometimes there aren't any available). Upon entering the office,the waiting area is fairly big in case you have a large breed dog and lots of seating as well. There's a large scale for weighing your pet while you wait if you're brave enough to operate it (usually your pet gets weighed when they're inside meeting with the vet. Sometimes when you enter, there's no bell or buzzer to tell staff that someone has entered the building so sometimes you can be waiting there for more than a couple minutes for someone to check you in. (-1) Service - Although staff are super friendly over the phone and when you visit the office, the falter when you have to call to make an appointment. If you must call to make an appointment, their phone can be busy for a long time, and if you do get through, you are usually asked to hold also for a long period of time. (-1) Rating - 3/5. I only come here because the two vets that respectively take care of my dog and cat. I wouldn't dream of having anyone else take care of them as the two vets do; however if it wasn't for their sloppy office management skills, e.g. not answering the phone, putting clients on interminable holds, and not checking clients in promptly upon their arrival the place would've garnered a 5-star rating from me.

I have been bringing my dogs to Double A since it opened years ago. They are very caring, competent and competitive in pricing. Everything I look for in a vet!

I've lived lots of places and had many vets over the years - this is my hands down favorite. The staff is cheerful and polite and genuinely interested on all the critters coming and going. All three vets are fantastic, thorough and generous with their time. A few years ago, as a relatively new customer, I had to have my beloved dog put to sleep. I had had a terrible experience with this previously so I was really upset. Dr Artorino was so gentle and loving with our dog (and us!) during this process, allowing us lots of time to talk and grieve. Since then our two new adopted dogs have been well cared for. Double A's fees are very reasonable as well.

I've gone to Double A Vet and have known Dr Andrea Autorino for years. She is an excellant Veterinary Doctor and has an awesome staff. The office is busy and yearly appointments can easily be planned in advance. The place is spotless, the care is outstanding and all of my animals needs are always taken care of. As far as emergency care, I know if I call with an issue that it will be handled in a timely manner. The rates are extremely reasonable and always have been.

I highly disagree with Jenna! My numerous pets (3 dogs: 2 older dogs and 1 puppy, as well as my cat) have been patients of the Double AA vets for years and I don't have a single bad thing to say about the clinic. In a matter of fact I wanted to write a review for them today because I'm super happy about the way they just took care of my oldest dog. Not only were they able to 'squeeze her in' ahead of a normal waiting period because I could go into labor any minute, but the price I had to pay for the amount of work that my old girl had to get done is more than reasonable. I've been to a number of local vets in the past and about 5 years ago I chose the Double AA clinic as my permanent vets because they always manage to take care of my animals in the best possible fashion and they have no problem working around my schedule. The clinic is not overpriced by any means and anybody who's shopped around for a vet in the Wethersfield/Newington/Rocky Hill area could attest to that. I know that lately it hasn't been easy to get an appointment with these guys, but that's because several other vets in town closed down and the Double AA clinic got their patients. However, (and that's from my personal experience) when it comes to emergencies, such as getting shots for a puppy or taking care of a problem with an older dog that can't wait, the clinic staff always manages to find time to take care of their patients.
